Dubai schools are looking for teachers and the perks are unbelievable

Time to get those applications in!

Teachers in Ireland are not getting what they deserve.

Almost 24,000 teachers earn less than their same-level colleagues – because of salary reductions implemented during the recession in 2011.

So, it’s no surprise that most want to emigrate for better opportunities.

Well, a Dubai recruitment agency is looking for early childhood educators, as well as primary and post primary teachers to start working in August 2018.

And to say the perks of the job are good is an understatement.

Included with the job is tax-free travel, special end of service bonus, a fully-furnished rent-free apartment, transport to and from school, all bills are free, and afterwards, you can transfer to any of their schools globally.

Subjects include English, History, Science, Maths and Economics.

It seems like more and more might soon be travelling for work as it came to light earlier this year that all three teachers’ unions will start “shutting down schools” if the Government refuses to address the issue of pay parity.

John Boyle of INTO told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland earlier this month that “our patience is running thin”.

“The cuts to the teachers were disproportionate… We have more cuts to fight than anyone else,” he added.
